Can I pump it with a battery operated pump? Is it suitable for camping ?

I don't think so. The pump is made to attach to the mattress. You would have to find a pump that would fit and since it screws in I don't think another pump would work.

Pump is designed to be plugged into outlet. You could purchase an adapter that you plug into your outlet in your car (old cigarette lighter area). I have one that accepts the electrical end of the pump and it works great.

This Aerrobed Classic Inflatable mattress comes with an excellent plug-in electric pump. Howeverif you are taking it some place where there is no electricity, you will need adaptors to use it with with your battery operated pump. These come with the Aerobed so don't forget to bring them along.

It's awesome but only an aerobed pump will fit. Comes with electric pump. Some mattresses come with dual pump but not this one- only electric

It is not battery powered with no way to divert from the power cord. Can be used for camping if have access to power.

I bought this bed for a camping trip, I was so glad I checked it out before my camping trip because you must plug it into an electrical outlet to pump it up. I thought it took batteries but it does not. I was angry about this because the store I bought it from had it with camping equipment. This bed is only good to use in the home so now I have a spare mattress for company.

This mattress is designed for indoor use, typically for overnight guests and family. The mattress is not intended for outdoor camping use specifically because it does not have a secondary valve to hook up an external motor. Without a wall socket or a portable generator there is no way to inflate the air mattress.

There are many options...I just use any pumps that one would use to inflate an air mattress. That said - it is better to get one that can be plugged into your vehicle as that comes in handy if you're at the water and need to inflate the raft there.

This pump requires a cigarette lighter-type 12VDC power receptacle. We take a portable "jump starter" when camping and use it to power the inflator when blowing up the airbeds. If you are going to use it strictly in the home, I would grab an 120VAC version like the one at this link. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-120V-Electric-Quick-Colors/dp/B0009PURX6/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1395443584&sr=1-2&keywords=120v+air+pump

You probably can. I forget if it came with attachments for stuff like that. Your air mattress may have the attachment it needs. I changed my coupler out and ran a different hose with a regular fitting (like for air tools). Much more convenient than what it came with. If you are using this camping just a word of caution, it is NOT quiet. I bought a cheap air pump just for blowing up my air mattress at the local sporting goods store. Super quiet, cheap, and no need for attachments. This compressor will piss off your camp neighbors if they are close to you. Other than that it's a great compressor for everything else. I have two of them.

Our pump has lasted a whole weekend camping trip. Inflated more than one air bed, topping them off at night and inflating some inner tubes, and deflating the beds on departture. So I would say no problem.

No. I chose the separate electric pump (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009PURX6/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1) or you can also choose a battery operated one if you want to take the bed camping.

It has a built in pump that you plug in to an outlet. I don't see where you could possibly attach a battery operated pump.

It is possible to bypass the built-in electric pump by using either a manual pump or a battery powered pump. The included instructions show that this is possible. If you look at the photo that shows the pump, you can see a hole through the middle of the dial (which is used to inflate/deflate the bed). The pump that you end up using must have a hose outlet that can fit through that hole. As for camping, please make sure you have a large enough tent - this is a big bed. Yes, it's only a twin size, but it's quite high off the ground.

If you want to use the pump you have to carry some kind of 12 volt battery I use a lawn mower battery they are cheaper and smaller

It can not. And because it only operates on batteries you will have to keep a large supply as it drains them quickly. I used for three nights and returned due to batteries dying every two days.

No! this model of Coleman airbed can only be used with electricty to inflate - a valve shape that you see in the picture is for deflating only, i.e. you can't pump to inflate this type of airbed. The only solution that I would suggest is a Portable Generator for camping then you would able to use this airbed.

Yes. Once you set up camp just unscrew the the valve and let it inflate. You may have to blow in it a little if you like it firm.

It inflates like a beach ball but. Definately not something you would want to blow up yourself though. I used a battery operated pump that I use for air mattresses.

For me I just use a little battery operated pump , air it up till it feels moderately tight then go for it. Just a word of advice....be mindful that on a hot day they will get too tight and you should beach land it a relieve a little pressure. on a cold day I had it all pumped up, threw it on the trailer and headed to the lake, when I got there it was deflated considerably due to the cold. I pumped it up and away it goes. Its a awesome rig. Get U 1, FISH ON!

Hi Mary, we used a pump. We used an electric one that we plunged into an outlet. I believe it was a Coleman? Our battery one wasn't that strong. We pumped it up at the camp then carried it down to the lake.
